Ditch the HIIT class - this is the newest workout trend you need to try ASAP

Own a pair of sneakers? Then chances are you've already tried a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout at least once, and while it has its benefits (increased fat burning and better cardio health, for a start), it also has downsides. Thanks to the intense nature of the workout, HIIT makes it easy to push your body past its limits, which puts you at risk of injury and over-training. The solution?

While there's no official HILIT program in Australia yet, you can get your low-impact fix at the barre studio, on the rower or with an animal-inspired fitness class such as Zuu, which is available at gym chains nationwide.
